Chapter 1496: Chapter 1495: Challenging Xu Zimei, Gui Jie of Supreme Yang and Yin

What he meant by “exciting” was not the excitement from their fight.

Instead, it was Shangguan Wan’er’s display of power that drew everyone’s attention.

With just one palm, she made Little Overlord King Wang Chong beg for mercy.

Wang Chong stood up from the ground, feeling somewhat ashamed and angry.

But he understood that even if he got another chance, he would still choose to concede.

Just the palm wind was enough to overwhelm him; if that palm truly landed, his life would be in danger.

Everyone said Shangguan Wan’er was a prodigious talent, an unparalleled woman; it was previously just hearsay.

They thought she was only mythologized.

But now it seems that those tales are true.

Wang Chong quickly walked off the platform to avoid further gossip.

Meanwhile, on the ancient battlefield, after this duel, many who were itching to act calmed down.

Like Du Bujie, who picks up overlooked opportunities, there are only a few.

Most of those sent from the Six Domains were actually quite strong.

Looking at the temporary silence among the thirty-six people.

On the other side, Shangguan Xiongba, the Family Head of the Shangguan Family, gave a signal to someone among the thirty-six.

That person understood immediately.

He walked out from the crowd and shouted, “I want to challenge.”

Step by step, he entered the ancient battlefield.

He was clad in white, and the occasional black spots on his shirt were like ink splashes.

Surprisingly, he walked barefoot on the ground.

A bit of an untamed and wild aura lingered around him.

His face was stern, with eyes bright and piercing, standing tall and straight.

A long spear was strapped to his back.

The spear was two meters long, entirely purple, with the tip roaring with energy.

“It’s Gui Jie,” someone murmured upon seeing the young man step onto the stage.

“His reputation isn’t prominent, but his strength has always been a mystery.

It’s said that he acts brutally, practicing a dual cultivation technique of extreme yang and extreme yin.”

“I also heard that he’s secretly backed by the Shangguan Family, though no one knows if it’s true.”

The crowd murmured among themselves.

After all, it’s common for such prominent families to cultivate a lot of talent.

These nurtured talents serve many purposes.

For example, tasks the Shangguan Family can’t do openly due to their prestige and reputation.

At times like these, they would covertly solve them using such individuals.

And Gui Jie was the kind of madman who served the Shangguan Family; as a reward, he could receive cultivation resources.

Even a place of refuge.

For a loose cultivator like him, it was a very satisfactory arrangement.

“Whom do you want to challenge?” the Light Saint King asked from the firmament.

“Challenge him,” Gui Jie pointed towards the Chaos Fire Realm.

Then slowly directed his finger at Xu Zimei’s direction.

“I heard the Chaos Fire Realm is full of talents, and I just wanted to give it a try.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of intrigue flashed in the Light Saint King’s eyes.

He then directed his gaze towards the Shangguan Family, as if he understood something.

A smile curled at the corner of his mouth, watching the upcoming battle with interest.

“Be careful, Young Master Xu,” Sect Master Bai reminded from the side.

Xu Zimei chuckled.

He walked into the ancient battlefield step by step, yawning.

Asked, “How does it feel to be the Shangguan Family’s lap dog?”

Upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Gui Jie first let out a heavy snort.

Then the spear in his hand began to tremble.

The tip of the spear started to erupt with thunder and lightning.

As if the entire spear had disappeared, leaving only an overwhelming thunderbolt that enveloped everything.

At this moment, Gui Jie seemed like the Thunder God descending, gazing at Xu Zimei with imposing authority.

“Die,” he shouted angrily.

The long spear steadied, and he directly thrust it forward.

At that moment, all the thunderbolts seemed to find an outlet, all directed towards Xu Zimei.

Xu Zimei slightly raised his head.

He stepped forward with his left foot; then his right hand transformed into a palm, reaching directly towards the spear tip.

Only a “bang” sounded.

Fearless of these thunderbolts, he grabbed the spear tip with one hand and lifted it fiercely upwards.

Gui Jie’s body was directly lifted to the sky.

Then Xu Zimei forcefully slammed him down, and Gui Jie fell onto the ground.

“Stop playing these child’s games and show something interesting,” Xu Zimei replied.

Gui Jie stood up from the ground, let out a heavy snort.

“Thunder Punishment Four Techniques, First Style: Jue Mie’s Thunder.”

He shouted softly, and the powerful aura surrounded the area, the thunderbolts roaring as they rushed towards Xu Zimei.

This thunderous power erupted, sweeping the entire sky.

The realm Xu Zimei occupied was entirely thunderbolt territory.

When the thunder descended, he remained unresponsive.

Letting the thunder annihilate everything, he himself bathed in the Thunder Sea.

Seeing this scene, Gui Jie’s expression slightly changed.

“Thunder Punishment Second Style, Deer of the Vast Heavens, Floating Lion, Beast Thunder.”

As his voice fell, a divine deer governing thunder punishment stepped into the void.

A lion formed by thunder surfaced.

The two thunderous monster beasts almost obliterated everything.

Xu Zimei smiled.

His fists clenched tightly, and a “bang bang” two explosive sounds echoed.

Where his fists crushed, both the divine deer and lion were blasted away.

“Thunder Punishment Three Style, Endless Heavenly Thunder, Death Thunder Explosion.”

Again, devastating divine thunder surged out.

This time, not only did the thunder contain intense force, but among them, it even had residual explosive waves.

The continuous explosions echoed.

Between space and space, between thunder and thunder.

Space currents ebbed and flowed unceasingly.

“Still too weak,” Xu Zimei slightly shook his head.

He tightly clenched his right fist, a burst of endless malice qi erupted between his fists.

No matter how violent, how domineering the thunder in the firmament was.

Xu Zimei shattered them with one punch.

Only a “boom” sounded, this fist seemingly collapsing the entire firmament.

The roaring noise constantly echoed in everyone’s ears.

Some with temporary cultivation even experienced bouts of tinnitus.

Under this punch from Xu Zimei, a black devouring vortex was created in the firmament.

All the thunderbolts were swallowed into it.

“Damn,” Gui Jie snorted coldly.

Only to see him use the last style of the Thunder Punishment Four Techniques.

“Thunder and I as One.”

Thunder bolts erupted around him, the entire person was shrouded in light purple lightning.

Beneath this lightning, he looked as if he were a purple thunder person.

With thunderous speed, he charged at Xu Zimei.

Arcs of electricity suddenly erupted beneath his feet; when he was only a few meters away from Xu Zimei, a ghostly shadow suddenly appeared behind him.

A gigantic ghost head opened its bloody jaws, coming to devour Xu Zimei.

“That’s extreme yin,” someone shouted urgently.

Everyone knew that Gui Jie’s cultivation technique was extreme yin and extreme yang.

Extreme yang was this thunder, the most masculine and violent force between heaven and earth.

While extreme yin was this haunting ghostly shadow surrounding him.

The ghost shadow devoured everything.

Continually came to bite Xu Zimei.

This combination of one yin and one yang appeared overwhelmingly forceful.
